Can't Compile -- MacOS High Sierra 10.13

[Muzzy1027]

I’ve tried several times to compile to PDF. I’ve tried with and without front matter, doesn’t make any difference. Every time I get the rainbow wheel for several minutes before I have to force quit and try again.

Is there a limit to the number of times you can compile on the free trial before you have to pay?

As per the L&L website:

The trial is exactly the same as the full version but will stop working after 30 days of use. (If you use it every day, it lasts 30 days; if you use it only two days a week, it lasts fifteen weeks.)

So, no, the trial is not throttled in anyway.

Tell us more about what it is you’re trying to compile; with what you say here it’s difficult to give advice.

What hardware are you working on: model, amount of RAM, free disk space? Which version of Scrivener are you using: 2.9 or 3.1.2 or other? How big is your MS? Does it contain images, and if so are there many, are they large? Any information helps.

Im using macOS big sur 11.7, Scrivener version 3.2.3, previously I compile the project correctly, but now i cant compile.

Never hurts to restart both Scrivener and your computer in a case like this.

If that doesn’t help, try compiling to another format. RTF in particular is Scrivener’s native format, so it’s a good test for possible format conversion issues.
